QR Codes In The Classroom

As part of our Children's Book Week Celebration my 3rd grade Media students created a QR Code Display using popular Picture Book Characters as the subject. Group of three and four students worked collaboratively using wordle.net to create Character Word Clouds describing their characters. After creating their wordles they found images of their characters to embed into a QR Code. We used qrcode.kaywa.com to generate the codes. We hung the display in the hallway outside the Media Center and invited students and staff to come by and interact with the display using a mobile device to scan the codes. This project supported collaboration, problem solving, and creativity.
